Default More Internet Radio coming to a portable device near you

"More Internet Radio coming to a portable device near you"

You can already get Internet radio on mobile devices, of course,
through services like FlyTunes and others.

But as the ubiquity of Internet radio devices expands we'll find
"radios" becoming part of almost everything with a WiFi connection,
and a new chip like this one might speed that process along:

RadioPro's $15 eBOM drives the cost of making an internet radio down
dramatically. This not only opens up the new product category of
portable/wearable [Internet] radios, but also makes it economic to
add
the technology into existing successful consumer electronic product
segments - many of which are highly competitive and could benefit
from
the introduction of new features.
For example, CSR predicts that by 2009: 40% of MP3 / PMP players will
have Wi-Fi internet radio, 50% of DAB and satellite radios will have
Wi-Fi internet radio, 30% of home hi-fi systems will have Wi-Fi
internet radio.

In other words, the pitch goes, cheap Internet radio could become a
"feature" of products which currently have no relationship to radio
whatsoever.

Terrestrial stations are (rather amazingly) still asking whether or
not they should stream. When in fact the real question is how do you
propose to make your stream easy and convenient to find and
dramatically different from millions of alternatives?

LOL, iBiquity!
